Not all substance use looks the same… and for many mothers, it starts with a glass of wine.

🌿 THE REAL CONVERSATION WE NEED TO HAVE

Alcohol is one of the most normalized and overlooked substances affecting pregnant and postpartum mothers.

From “wine to relax” to “mommy needs a drink,” the culture makes it easy to ignore when use becomes dependence.

But here’s the truth:

⚠️ Alcohol use during pregnancy can lead to serious developmental concerns, including Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs)
⚠️ Postpartum alcohol misuse can impact mental health, bonding, and recovery
⚠️ Many mothers suffer in silence because it does not always look like addiction

🤰🏽 TO THE MOTHERS READING THIS

You can be
✨ Loving
✨ Present
✨ Trying your best

and still be struggling with alcohol.

💜 That does not make you a bad mother. That makes you human and deserving of support.

The first few weeks with a baby can be an overwhelming time for any family. With a newborn to care for, a birthing parent recovering from childbirth, and partners and other family members adjusting to their new roles, a lot of questions can come up. Family Connects Chicago is here to help.

🚨 New moms & dads… this is something you NEED to know. 🚨

Those first days and weeks after bringing your baby home are filled with love… but they also require awareness, education, and preparation.

One of the most serious (and often overlooked) postpartum risks is excessive bleeding after birth—and too many families aren’t taught what’s normal vs. what’s not.

As a certified birth & postpartum doula, lactation specialist, and community health worker, I’ve made it my mission to make sure you’re not left guessing during one of the most vulnerable times in your life.

Because the truth is:
✨ Early recognition saves lives
✨ Education builds confidence
✨ Knowing what to look for can protect your family

This isn’t about fear… it’s about being informed, prepared, and empowered.

Take a moment to read, learn, and share this with someone who needs it. Your awareness could make all the difference. 💗

This is something every mother, partner, and support person needs to know-- because too many families are caught off guard. Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading causes of maternal death...

👶🏽 No one tells you how overwhelming the first 6 weeks with a newborn really is…

Everyone posts the cute pictures…
The tiny outfits…
The peaceful sleeping moments…

But no one really talks about:

The exhaustion that hits your body and your mind
The “am I doing this right?” thoughts at 2AM
The feeding struggles, the crying, the guessing
The emotional ups and downs that come out of nowhere

And suddenly… you’re responsible for this tiny human
with no real roadmap.

💔 That feeling?
It’s more common than you think.
And you don’t have to go through it alone.

✨ As a certified birth & postpartum doula, lactation specialist, and childbirth educator, I’ve supported countless mothers through this exact stage…

And what I’ve learned is this:

Confidence comes from guidance, not guesswork.

💡 That’s why I created a Newborn Guidance Class
A safe space where you’ll learn:

✔️ Newborn care basics (without overwhelm)
✔️ Feeding support & what’s normal vs not
✔️ Sleep rhythms in the early weeks
✔️ How to feel more confident and in control

All for just $25 because every mother deserves support.

💗 You deserve to feel prepared.
💗 You deserve to feel supported.
💗 You deserve peace in this new chapter.

📩 Comment “READY” or DM me “NEW MOM”
and I’ll send you the details to get started.

Let’s make these first 6 weeks feel a little less overwhelming—and a lot more supported.

Your baby’s sleep setup could be the difference between safe rest… and silent risk.

Let’s talk about safe sleep—because this is one area where education is non-negotiable.

As a Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula and New Parent Educator, I’ve seen how misinformation and “hand-me-down advice” can put babies at risk.

The safest way for your baby to sleep?
✔️ Alone
✔️ On their back
✔️ In a crib or bassinet

No shortcuts. No compromises.

That means:
🚫 No pillows
🚫 No stuffed animals
🚫 No loose blankets
🚫 No sleeping on couches or chairs

I know—it can feel overwhelming. Especially when you’re exhausted and just trying to survive those early weeks.

But this is why guidance matters. This is why I do this work.

If you’re preparing for baby or already in the newborn stage, don’t guess your way through it.

Join my Virtual Newborn Guidance Class—a safe space where I teach you newborn care, sleep routines, and how to confidently care for your baby without fear.

Spots are limited.

Co-sleeping can feel natural… but are you doing it safely?

As a doula, I understand why so many parents choose co-sleeping. It supports bonding, breastfeeding, and can bring a sense of peace during those early postpartum nights. But let’s be clear—safe co-sleeping is intentional, not accidental.

Too many families are navigating sleep without guidance, increasing risks without even realizing it.

Here’s what safe co-sleeping requires:
✨ A firm mattress
✨ No pillows, loose blankets, or gaps
✨ Baby placed on their back
✨ A smoke-free, sober environment
✨ Awareness of your body and positioning at all times

This isn’t about fear—it’s about informed, empowered parenting.

You deserve rest. You deserve support. And your baby deserves a safe sleep environment.

Ready to feel confident in your newborn care decisions?

⚠️ Fibroids and pregnancy: what every mama needs to know.

Did you know fibroids are common in pregnancy? They can affect comfort, but most don’t harm your baby. 🧘‍♀️ Gentle movement, stress management, and regular monitoring are key.

I guide moms holistically through a healthy, safe pregnancy journey, even with fibroids.
